All I know is that it's about a loner and for some reason 4chan loves the manga. That's enough for me to give it a shot.

>some reason

It is the embodiment of /v/ that's why they all sent pictures of their wieners in to the author

The author even mentioned it in a recent chapter lol

Now for the anime adaption I will just have to write a review for that later so keep an eye open. One thing I will state right now is this, the Op is fantastic and the voice actress the got to play tomoka is great.

I watched that 2 minute preview with the ED song multiple times, binge read the manga a couple days ago and watched the raw episode before any translations came out due to impatience (doesn't work so well when I only understand about 2% of the dialogue lol) so now that I've finally watched the episode I don't think I appreciated it as much as I could have due to Watamote over load Pretty darn pleased though, I'm looking forward to the coming weeks. That OP was so random and funny and Tomoko is just as endearing as in the manga, really nice adaptation.

I just wish there were more anime this season that I could get even half as excited about. Not a great selection for my particular tastes, and I can only re-watch these Watamote episodes so many times!

Brilliant; purports that distinctly dark brand of whimsy that's exactly my cup of tea, and only anime can effectively pull off. Haven't been this excited about a series for some time now. Could conceivably be that I can identify with Tomoko's manner of plight with (uncomfortable) ease, but then again, think I'll try to eschew that side of things.

If it can make me LOL, it's gold in my book. That first face she made.. If I had been drinking something.. it would have been spewed forth in spectacular fashion as I laughed. Also that karaoke joke about the mic was hilarious.

I so did not expect to enjoy it so much. Well all the more reason to give an anime at least one episode.
The opening was awesome.

I like how she's the protagonist and antagonist at the same time. Her problems are self imposed, she isolates herself because of her own insecurities, and she doesn't have such a squeaky clean, nice girl personality. She's more relatable that way.
I haven't read the manga so I don't know if she'll stay mostly friendless throughout the show. Maybe she'll grow to accept herself more and get some damn sleep.

This is kind of inscrutable to me. I find it too depressing to be funny, and too lackluster in other areas to be interesting. I wouldn't fault anyone for watching it since I think I can glimpse the appeal, but I'm not sure how long I'll keep up with it.

I laughed very hard and I rarely laugh when I watch anime. After I watched it I thought it was the best first episode I've seen in the last six years. I never have been so hyped to watch the rest of a series :3. Hopefully the rest is good!
